190. Rebuild the number

Huangshi Mountain is the position of the 392nd Battalion responsible for blocking the rebels in Akara, until the rebels in Saipan were eliminated, the rebels in Akara failed to rush over to rendezvous, which has fully demonstrated that Wang Lefei and they have successfully completed the blocking mission.

Although the more than 2,000 rebels in Saipan here were all wiped out, strictly calculated, Zhao Li still lost more than 1,500 people, which can be regarded as killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 himself. Fortunately, most of them were injured, and only four or five hundred were sacrificed.

Of course, what made Zhao Li happiest was Li Mengdie's return. Not only did Li Mengdie, Sanders and James return safely, but more than half of the people they brought out also returned.

It's just that at this time, Zhao Li didn't have time to say anything more to them, just gave Li Mengdie an apologetic look, and then immediately began to assemble the team.

Huangshi Mountain is more than 20 kilometers away from the ambush battlefield here. Zhao Li didn't dare to stop at all, and almost trotted all the way to the blocking battlefield of Huangshi Mountain.

When he felt that there were almost a few kilometers left, Zhao Li was a little puzzled, why there was no gunfire on this side of Huangshi Mountain. It stands to reason that at such a close distance, how could there be gunshots.

When he was wondering, there were really a few sparse gunshots from that direction, and Zhao Li felt a lot more relieved in his heart. It's good to have gunshots, but why is it so sparse?

Li Mengdie and they ran back tired all the way, but at the moment, they couldn't care about being tired, and rushed over. On the way, Zhao Li had time to ask about what happened to them.

The original plan was to attack only two enemy supply depots, but when the transport ship piloted by James was about to arrive, it was discovered. Faced with the threat of enemy attack ships, they had to abandon their ships on foot. But this encounter made James angry, and he took the initiative to blow up the enemy's military airfield.

Zhao Li heard this and looked at James. At present, he can't be regarded as Zhao Li's subordinate, but this sudden change of plan makes Zhao Li very helpless, although the consequences of changing the plan are very good, and there is an additional military airfield in the results, but it violates the original combat goal.

Most of the tasks were all completed by Li Mengdie, Sanders and James, and the others were responsible for luring the enemy. The high-explosive ammunition originally prepared was almost useless, and after the three of them infiltrated their respective targets, they took materials on the spot and directly bombarded the three targets into the sky. The weapons and ammunition in the supply warehouse, as well as the collection in the arsenal at the airport, were enough for them to accomplish such a task.

On Zhao Li's side, this seemingly dangerous action actually allowed Zhao Li to succeed. I can't help but say that Zhao Li's luck was extremely good, the most difficult group of rebel elites was attacked by Li Mengdie and several of them from behind, allowing Zhao Li to win in one fell swoop.

The closer he got to Huangshi Mountain, the more Zhao Li felt wrong. There were a few irregular gunshots just now, but now, no sound of battle could be heard at all.

This situation made Zhao Li feel a bad feeling, and it seemed that the situation he least wanted to see appeared.

There were still two kilometers away from there, Zhao Li waved his hand to let the team be on guard, and he quietly touched through the jungle. Li Mengdie was afraid that something would happen to Zhao Li, so she insisted on following her.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunsmoke, and the black smoke from the burning trees in front of it clearly showed that a fierce battle had just been experienced here.

It's just that when I touched it from behind, no one stopped me. As he approached the position, Zhao Li began to see the remains of the soldiers.

It's not one or two, basically, as far as the eye can see, all you see.

The positions arranged in advance are already a scorched earth, and it is impossible to find a complete place. On top of such a position, one in the east and one in the west, all the fighters of the airborne regiment were lying down, and occasionally there were one or two rebel corpses. It's just that the people who are lying down are no longer alive.

Forward, still like this, stepping over bunkers and moving forward, all you see are the remains of the soldiers of the airborne battalion. Everyone fell in a strange way, but one thing was exactly the same, and that was that they all fell towards the front of the position.

Zhao Li's face had completely sunk. Li Mengdie next to her, looking at such a situation, was even more unbelievable. Sweeping her cold face before, her eyes widened and her mouth covered, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Further on, it is the front end of the blocking position, and this front is also the place where the remains of the soldiers are the most. Moreover, on this front, there are many more corpses of rebels.

On the entire battlefield, it seems that there are no more living people. Both the rebels and the fighters of the airborne battalion have been laid to rest here. The corpses of the rebels, several times more numerous than the fighters of the airborne battalion, staggered and scattered, and not a single person standing could be seen. No wonder I haven't heard gunshots just now, in this case, it's strange that there are gunshots.

It is estimated that the enemy also knows the situation of the Saipan rebels, and knows that even if they rush desperately at the moment, there is no point in retreating, so they will retreat in this situation, right?

Judging from the situation shown along the way, Zhao Li can basically judge what is probably going on. When the attack began, the enemy desperately wanted to break through, so the fighters, who could not stop the pressure, chose to retreat. It is estimated that it was at that time that Wang Lefei reported to Zhao Li that the enemy's attack was too fierce.

At that time, Zhao Li's reply to Wang Lefei was that as long as Huangshi Mountain. The traces on the back indicate that Wang Lefei must have concentrated all his forces and forcibly recaptured the first front from the enemy. That's why there is such a scene.

In front of the position, countless enemy corpses were densely piled up, which also showed their mood to break through the blockade and join the rebels in Saipan at all costs. It's a pity that under Wang Lefei's desperate resistance, their original wish was not achieved.

"There's still a living mouth here!" Li Mengdie walked around the position and made some discoveries.

Zhao Li hurried over, but what caught his eye was Wang Lefei's dying body.

At this time, Wang Lefei was covered in blood and was speechless. But there was still a trace of sanity, and when he saw Zhao Li coming, he could only move his eyes with Zhao Li's movements, and he couldn't say anything.

seemed to finally recognize that the person in front of him was Zhao Li, and the dying Wang Lefei was obviously excited. There were two hehes in his mouth, and he wanted to express it, but he couldn't express it clearly, so he could only use his two eyes, staring in one direction, and signaled to Zhao Li.

Following Wang Lefei's gaze, Zhao Li saw the small flag of the 392nd Regiment made by the soldiers. The number of the entire regiment has been canceled, but in the minds of these soldiers, there is always a dream.

Zhao Li once promised that if Wang Lefei could complete this mission, Zhao Li would restore the establishment of the 392nd Regiment on the edge planet. Now, they did. Wang Lefei is reminding Zhao Li not to forget his promise.

"Don't worry, I will definitely restore the establishment of the 392nd regiment." At this moment, Zhao Li did not have any way in the face of Wang Lefei, who was seriously injured and dying. The activated water had long been depleted in the last battle, and the new one had no time to get it, so he could only watch him like this, and there was nothing he could do.

Hearing Zhao Li's promise, Wang Lefei seemed to have fulfilled his last wish, a smile appeared on his face, and then he lost his breath.

Zhao Li stood in place in a daze, not saying anything. Over there, Li Mengdie had already notified the team to rush over, and when she saw Zhao Li's appearance, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything, just held Zhao Li's hand and leaned against him.

"They're good!" After a long time, Zhao Li said a word. Li Mengdie was beside her and nodded heavily.

The team quickly rushed over, and when they saw the situation in front of them, they seemed to be stunned. Without waiting for Zhao Li's orders, a commander quickly entered the front position with his soldiers, and then began to send people out to reconnoiter in order to confirm the enemy's whereabouts. More people, began to hustle and bustle throughout the positions, trying to search for survivors.

"Report sir." It took almost half an hour before someone came to report.

"What's the situation?" Zhao Li sighed lightly and asked the warrior who seemed a little excited.

"Our warriors, all killed." The warrior reported this, and immediately lowered his head.

"What about the enemy?" Zhao Li tried his best not to look at the people who were sorting out the remains of his comrades, and asked the soldier.

"There are more than 1,700 corpses of the enemy." Speaking of this, the warrior's tone was raised: "Sir, they have eliminated at least four times as many enemies. They are all heroes! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Li affirmed the warrior's words: "They are all heroes, they are all good!" ”

This was something that Zhao Li did not expect, originally his order was to let the airborne battalion block the rebels from Akara. But he did not expect that the soldiers of the airborne battalion would be so attached to the rebels from Akara.

The 392nd Airborne Regiment suffered heavy losses because it was besieged by these rebels in Akara, and only one battalion was left in the end. The 392 Airborne Regiment was also canceled by its superiors, which was a shame for the soldiers of the entire Airborne Regiment.

Zhao Li gave them this opportunity, and in the face of the enemy that had brought them humiliation, the warriors burst out with great combat effectiveness. In the case of some defeats in the initial battle, he insisted on using a mentality of not admitting defeat to save honor, driving the enemy out of the position alive and dead, and stopped in front of the position.

It seemed that God didn't want to see this happen, and it began to rain in the sky. After extinguishing the burning flames, even the warriors' bodies were drenched. If the rain had come a few hours earlier, it wouldn't have ended like this.

"They, once the generals of the defeated army, once a full main combat regiment, were wiped out by a group of rebels and the underground forces of Akara. The rest of them will also have to bear the shame of being canceled! Zhao Li stood in the rain and shouted to the neatly arranged soldiers.

"Today, however, they have washed away their shame with the blood of the same enemies, and with their own blood. also used these to save the reputation of their airborne 392 regiment, they are well-deserved heroes! Looking at the soldiers with tears in their eyes, Zhao Li announced loudly: "I once promised them that if they can complete the task, then I will rebuild the 392nd Regiment on the edge planet." ”

All the soldiers stood in the rain and listened to Zhao Li's words quietly. Even the raindrops the size of beans fell on his body, but they all stood straight, not even a single one moved.

"Now, it's time for me to make good on my promise!" Zhao Li waved his arm: "From now on, the Reading Force Regiment will inherit the number of the 392nd Regiment, and all our soldiers are all soldiers of the 392nd Regiment and comrades-in-arms of these heroes!" ”

The warm applause, coming from everyone's hands, converged into a huge sound, and even the thunder and rain in the sky could not be concealed.

This battle was considered a successful completion, and the rebel army of almost 4,000 people in the two regions of Akara and Saipan was wiped out by Zhao Li. According to the calculations after the war, except for a team of about three or four hundred people on the side of Akara who finally withdrew when the situation was not good, the others were either captured or eliminated. It can be said that the two regions of Akcala and Saipan have basically become a vacuum for the rebels.

After Zhao Li returned to the barracks, the first thing he did was to report the results to General Lucas, and at the same time focus on the performance of the soldiers of the airborne battalion, and report the renaming of the Reading Force Regiment at the same time.

General Lucas was very happy after receiving Zhao Li's report. This battle laid the foundation for Zhao Li's recovery of Akara and Saipan, and it was no difficulty to recover these two areas in the absence of supplies for the rebels.

General Lucas was equally shocked by the desperate performance of the soldiers of the airborne battalion. He did not expect that this unit, which had no original regimental command system and was all led by a commander elected by the soldiers, would be able to achieve such a shocking record.

And all of this seems to be related to Zhao Li. It turned out that General Lucas felt that Zhao Li was always able to make the impossible possible, and now it seems that in addition to good luck, he is indeed very good at commanding troops.

"General, I intend to capture Acala and Saipan in the near future, and take advantage of the enemy's lack of supplies to deal a greater blow to the enemy in other areas. So, I intend to recruit troops in Akcala and Saipan, please ask the general for permission! Zhao Li explained his immediate plans to the general, hoping to get the general's support.

"You are solely responsible, and you can do it yourself!" The general is now completely at ease with Zhao Li, and he doesn't care how Zhao Li does it, he just needs to give a clear general direction. It's just that the general is still a little strange, since he has been authorized to Zhao Li, why would Zhao Li ask like this, this is not like his usual performance.

"General!" Zhao Li smiled a little bitterly: "Although the enemy's supply warehouses and supply channels are empty, the enemy lacks supplies. However, the general ......" looked at the general's face, and Zhao Li finally asked the question: "We are also short of supplies, and the weapons and ammunition we have in our hands are no longer enough to support another war of the same scale." ”

191. Temporary political axe

"Ugh!" General Lucas has been immersed in the joy of cutting off the supply channels of the rebels and striking at the supply of the rebels recently, and it seems that he has not thought at all that after the rebels have limited their support to the marginal areas, Zhao Li and the others have also had no source of supplies.

"What's missing?" The general pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked Zhao Li.

"It's mostly weapons and ammunition." Zhao Li faced the general in embarrassment, and he also knew that it was not easy to transport these things in at this time: "The others can basically be solved locally." If you don't have a military uniform, you can make do with it, but if you don't have a weapon...... "Needless to say, the general knows better than Zhao Li.

"Weapons?" The general frowned and thought about it, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Zhao Li: "You wait!" Subsequently, Zhao Li's communication was unilaterally screened, and I didn't know who to discuss or ask for instructions.

It was a long time before the general's face reappeared on the communication screen, with a happy face.

"Can you send weapons in?" Seeing this complexion, Zhao Li was pleasantly surprised and asked the general with expectation.

"Can't!" The general shook his head, completely extinguishing Zhao Li's glimmer of expectation.

"However, there is a way for you to get weapons and equipment." Seeing Zhao Li's obvious disappointment, General Lucas couldn't help but laugh, after all, he was still a child, even if he commanded so many soldiers, he was still happy and angry, and he could be seen at a glance.

"What's the solution?" Zhao Li was reminded of hope again and looked at the general anxiously.

"Remember that underground secret arsenal in the Golden Five Star Barracks?" General Lucas didn't have an appetite for Zhao Li, and said it directly.

The underground secret arsenal is the key to Zhao Li's victory in destroying the Black Prison Mercenary Group and blocking the rebels, the general now mentions it, Zhao Li also has a little guess in his heart, but he is not sure, he can only look at the general, and ask suspiciously: "Is there one in every military camp?" ”

"Every barracks has it!" The general nodded heavily: "Akara, Saipan, they all!" I've applied for access for you, and as long as you can occupy those two barracks, there will be enough weapons in them for you to arm your soldiers. ”

"Thank you, General!" Zhao Li jumped excitedly, and it was a military salute to the general on the screen. With these two batches of weapons, Zhao Li has nothing to worry about, even if he supports it, he can only hold it until the end of the war on the Journey Planet. Of course, the premise is that the planet of the journey will not turn into a whirlpool of war, which will contain both sides of the heavy energy.

"Not only these areas, but the underground arsenals of the entire planet have been authorized to you to use at any time." The general looked at Zhao Li, as if he was intent on motivating him: "However, if you want to use it, you must at least be able to occupy these military camps." ”

"Yes, General!" Zhao Li agreed again. If this is the case, the edge planet has almost become a place to feed the war, and if you capture a military camp, you can get a large number of secret weapons in it, and Zhao Li's hope of victory will also be greatly increased.

"Plus!" The general looked at Zhao Li and announced solemnly: "The 392nd Airborne Regiment will be officially restored, and the number will be restored, and you will personally serve as the head of the regiment." ”

"Yes, General!" This is an order, and Zhao Li naturally has to agree loudly.

"Those soldiers who died, report their names. We can't do anything more for them, but at least we can give them a medal to their families. The general was also embarrassed that the soldiers of the airborne battalion, in the face of the old enemy, destroyed the enemy four times their own and annihilated themselves: "We lack such heroes now, and they will definitely be a model for the whole army to learn!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Zhao Li couldn't say anything more, he could only express his verbal gratitude.

"You've given me too many surprises, and I hope you won't let me down in the future." Finally, the general ended the correspondence with a word of encouragement and encouragement.

After getting the good news, Zhao Li was naturally happy. However, it was imperative that the funerals of those soldiers be held first.

This battle, including the fighters of the airborne battalion, lost more than 900 people. Originally, the cemetery on the side of the old military camp of Jin Wuxing looked a little small. The soldiers spontaneously took the initiative to clean up the surrounding environment and expand the scope of the cemetery, so that they were all buried.

Seeing off these fighters, Zhao Li couldn't wait to order several battalions to quickly attack and quickly occupy the military camps in Saipan and Akara. The soldiers are divided into two ways, one led by Zhao Li and Li Mengdie, and the other led by Sanders, and this time there can be no more mistakes.

Except for the time spent on the road, the occupied barracks did not consume a single shot, a single bullet, not a single soldier, and there was no resistance at all. The barracks in both places had been emptied by the rebels when they had withdrawn, leaving only a few empty barracks. And because the barracks were also dilapidated after the rebel air power had been hit before, fortunately, the underground arsenal was built in a secret and stable manner, and it was not affected much.

Only Zhao Li alone mastered the method of opening the underground secret arsenal, and as a last resort, Zhao Li had to work hard twice, once in each place, to get these two batches of weapons out. With this batch of weapons as a foundation, and a few high-tech weapons, Zhao Li's heart finally put it in his stomach.

Kang Hongyuan got the news very quickly, almost as soon as Zhao Li occupied Akara and Saipan, he sent someone to deliver the news.

It is undeniable that at such a time, Kang Hongyuan, an old man, has shown amazing efficiency. As soon as Zhao Li expressed his intention to recruit troops in Acala and Saipan, the citizens there began to sign up enthusiastically. In less than a day, enough soldiers were recruited.

In this conscription, there is more room for choice. And it is recruited according to the number of weapons, in each region, there are only more than a thousand people. But they were all the strongest guys who had been carefully selected, and the recruits in the barracks who had just been in the army for less than three months immediately turned into veterans, and began to urge these new soldiers to start regular training.

Next, Kang Hongyuan made another initiative that made Zhao Li feel incredible. He directly contacted the political axe officials of the three cities and the surrounding underground forces to discuss the formation of a temporary joint political axe in the periphery area in the Golden Five Stars.

Kang Hongyuan had already visited the municipal axes in several regions, and even the leaders of the underground armed forces, he had personally talked with them, exchanged opinions, and also drew a blueprint for them.

The leaders of the underground armed forces showed great interest in Kang Hongyuan's idea and sent representatives to participate in it. As for the political axes in various places, they were originally the spokesmen of those underground forces, and there was no objection.

"Why would they like to do this?" Zhao Li didn't understand this. Although I admired Kang Hongyuan's courage to take risks, he couldn't figure out why these people supported Kang Hongyuan so much. Those people are drug dealers or other types of terrorists!

"It's easy!" Kang Hongyuan pointed at Zhao Li on the screen of the communicator: "If you are a drug dealer, do you like to sell drugs in a stable and prosperous place, or in a dangerous and dilapidated place?" ”

"Of course it's a place to settle down." Although Zhao Li is not a drug dealer, he can also distinguish this problem. Where there is stability and prosperity, people can afford to buy drugs, and in dilapidated places, they should be wary of whether the addicts will steal their drugs.

"That's it!" Kang Hongyuan shrugged his shoulders, and seemed to be even more incomprehensible to Zhao Li's incomprehension of being so simple, which made Zhao Li speechless for a while.

The territory expanded, and it was impossible for Zhao Li to keep an eye on all the regions alone, and Acala and Saipan had sent men he felt were able to take charge. For now, Lai and Gunners seem to be the two leaders who are more suitable. After returning from a surprise attack on a rebel supply depot, Lai was sent to Saipan by Zhao Li, and the gunman was in Acala. And Zhao Li himself, after being busy with those, sat in the Golden Five Star Rainforest Mining, after all, this is the core place.

This is a completely different feeling, even if the number of reading groups has increased dramatically before, but they are still under their noses, they can see, hear, and feel. If there is anything wrong, you can take care of it in time. It is now divided into three regions, and there may be more in the future, which is a new way of management. And Zhao Li also needs to adapt to this method faster.

At the discussion meeting organized by Kang Hongyuan, Zhao Li was the first guest. Needless to say, who else on the edge planet doesn't know Zhao Li's name now? On this planet, you don't need to know who the big boss of the federal political axe is, and you don't need to know who the commander of the military region is, but the name Zhao Li can't be known.

On the one hand, this is the result of Kang Hongyuan's deliberate publicity, and on the other hand, it is inseparable from Zhao Li's recent achievements. The arrival of the rebels made the people and those underground forces feel unprecedented pressure, but Zhao Li recovered Acala and Saipan in just a few months, without a single soldier sent from above. Looking at this posture, it is only a matter of time before other regions recover.

The top military commander of the periphery empowered by the military will surely become the commander of the largest armed forces on the periphery planet. It is not so much that Kang Hongyuan easily moved the leaders of those underground armed forces, but that it was Kang Hongyuan's eloquence and Zhao Li's military force stealth coercion that caused such a result. Of course, the cooperation of the rebels is also important, at least, everyone wants to keep the laws of reading power here, rather than be unified.

The main topic of discussion at the meeting was the establishment of a temporary wartime coalition political axe. The United Axe will renegotiate the laws and regulations of the periphery, in an effort to turn the entire periphery into a federation with uniform laws, but still outside of federal regulations.

The Provisional Axe will be bicameral, with two parliamentary bodies, one Senate and one House of Representatives. All members of the Legislature will be elected. Each region has two seats in the Senate and four seats in the House of Representatives, which are elected from all regions. Of course, the exact election process is up for debate. This is also what satisfies the underground forces, at least, they have the opportunity to enter the system in the name of justice. The House of Representatives can introduce bills, which will ultimately be voted on by the Senate. If passed, it will become a formal law.

These are just frameworks, but the core issue is about the development of the entire periphery. A series of plans, Kang Hongyuan did in great detail, economically, militarily, educationally, etc., especially the proposal to build the edge planet into the largest free trade port in the Federation, which was supported by everyone.

This proposal was accepted because it provided maximum freedom of trade. Businesses that were originally allowed in the fringe areas that were deemed illegal by the federal government could be carried out on the fringe planets. This is the most basic thing, so as to ensure the support of the people of the marginal planet and various forces. Compared with the past, it was originally only the law of a certain region, such as the Golden Five Star drug trafficking legal, but not necessarily in other regions, but the new regulations ensure that the entire edge planet is treated the same. The market has expanded countless times, and drug dealers are not stupid, so they will naturally support it desperately.

In addition, for goods from other parts of the Federation, fringe areas, regardless of the source, even stolen goods, can be sold here. However, there is one thing that protects the local side of the edge planet, and that is that the local stolen goods will be held accountable to the owners of the goods sold in addition to the power to recover. This ensures that those people cannot be stolen and looted from the local areas of the fringe planets to be sold.

This article is simply a challenge to the current federal judicial system. However, there is a premise that the stolen goods must also be able to be transported to the marginal areas, where cross-planetary buying and selling is not accepted, and the incoming and outgoing goods need to be solved by the buyers and sellers themselves. It seems that this also leaves enough room for the federal political axe. As long as the incoming and departing flights are monitored, the tracking can be more rigorous.

Then there is legal gambling. The rest of the federation has declared gambling illegal, and only the marginal areas are now starting to make a big deal, and everyone knows that this will rapidly boost the economic development of the marginal areas.

The foundation of all of this is based on trading here, and it will all be based on amethyst. Moreover, Kang Hongyuan will also vigorously encourage federal banks to settle here and provide financial services.

The reason why Kang Hongyuan can guarantee that this kind of law and development plan can be accepted by the federal political axe is that this is the reading law area, as long as the local government passes, the federal political axe has no right to interfere. Second, these plans will only make the marginal areas more developed, much better than before, and the people will definitely support them.

Through this plan, Kang Hongyuan has basically determined the development direction of the edge planet. This plan to bring prosperity to the entire planet was warmly welcomed by the underground militants. In particular, the so-called free trade won their hearts.

Kang Hongyuan's status in the minds of a group of politicians and quasi-politicians has risen sharply. After all, he is a professional. Moreover, he can bring unprecedented opportunities to everyone, and he has the super warlord Zhao Li behind him, and he is the speaker of the Senate of the Temporary United Political Axe.

The chaotic but orderly discussion meeting finally ended with the successful passage of Kang Hongyuan's plan. Immediately, the next day, Kang Hongyuan announced that the Marginal Planet Wartime Temporary United Political Axe was established and began to exercise its powers in the three regions of Golden Five Stars, Akara and Saipan.

As expected, Kang Hongyuan became the speaker of the parliament, and several guys who were originally leaders of underground forces became legislators in a high-sounding manner. Their minions are also full of members of the House of Representatives.

"Aren't you going to create an Israeli-style region?" Zhao Li was a little puzzled: "The free trade port doesn't seem to be the original intention?" ”

"Of course." Kang Hongyuan was not surprised at all: "Everything now is only within the scope of the Federation, and one day when even the rebels are involved, there will be a chance." ”

(To be continued)
